Tyrese has found himself at the center of an animal cruelty probe after a vicious attack involving his animals.
Authorities in Buckhead are investigating the actor after his four Cane Corsos allegedly got loose and attacked a neighbor’s dog, killing it. According to Fulton County Animal Services, Tyrese has been cited multiple times in the past for his dogs roaming the area freely.
On September 18th, police received a call from a neighbor who said he had just let his small dog out when the pet was suddenly attacked. Moments later, he found it lifeless. Officers believe Tyrese’s dogs were responsible.
Capt. Nicole Dwyer of Fulton County Police Animal Services confirmed that an arrest warrant has now been issued for the “Sweet Lady” star.
“It is the negligence on his part as the homeowner and animal owner, just letting them roam free,” she said. “And now they have killed an innocent animal.”
The situation has left neighbors feeling unsafe. One even told Atlanta’s Channel 2 Action News she felt like a prisoner in her own home with the dogs roaming nearby.
Police executed a search warrant at Tyrese’s residence on September 22nd, but neither he nor the dogs were there at the time.
This isn’t the first time the “Fast and Furious” actor has faced complaints about his dogs. Authorities say he’s received multiple prior warnings, which adds weight to the current charges.
As the investigation continues, officials are urging residents to report further sightings of the dogs to ensure community safety.
